A simple step that makes a huge impact
As Earth Day approaches, people worldwide pay special attention to the way their choices affect the environment. While there are plenty of gimmicky "green" products promoted during this time of year, reuseit.com endorses a simple, high-impact way people can take action to preserve the natural environment every day - it's called the Reusables Revolution. By joining the Reusables Revolution (replacing common disposables such as paper towels, bottled water, plastic cutlery and single-use shopping bags with high-quality reusables) we can each eliminate thousands of use-and-toss items every year.
“Earth Day is the perfect time to reinforce the wisdom of reusables,” said Vincent Cobb, founder of reuseit.com. “By making a few simple changes – consuming fewer disposable items and using reusables whenever possible – each of us has the potential to make a huge impact on our environment.”
In recent years, especially around Earth Day, there has been an explosion in the production and consumption of poor-quality, cheap reusables. Unfortunately, these products are not part of the solution to the use-and-toss problem. Many of these items typically end up sitting in closets and cupboards, or they wear out with little use. To combat this issue, reuseit.com suggests avoiding cheap reusables and instead, choosing a handful of high-quality reusables you’ll actually use.
reuseit.com's recently-launched site picks up where its predecessor, ReusableBags.com, left off – offering stylish, safe and practical reusables for every part of your life, along with facts, information, and advice to help people consume fewer disposables.
